These CNCs can control connected robots, providing machine tending or other assistance through the company’s Quick and Simple Startup of Robotization (QSSR). The QSSR is a complete package designed to simplify the connection of a Fanuc robot to a Fanuc controlled machine tool. A QSSR G-code feature allows operators and machine tool builders to program robots through the CNC in ISO standard G-code format. Those unfamiliar with robotic programming language no longer will require additional training or specialists. A reliance on a separate teach pendant for the robot also is reduced with the capability of robotic programming and operation through the CNC user interface.
